History
The company was established in New Jersey by Michael R. Fontana. During the
course of his consulting experience gained during his career, the founder
recognized the need to offer services to both small and large clients at
optimized costs with schedules compatible with the clients' needs. After
experiencing the approach of large, traditional consulting firms, the founder
decided to form a consulting firm with a more practical, direct and lower-cost approach
to providing high-quality environmental consulting services.
Founded as a full-service environmental consulting firm in 1992, AquaTek (previously known as AquaSol) became a powerful identity in environmental
consulting. Headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey, AquaTek quickly earned a
reputation for providing cost-effective solutions to a complex variety of
environmental problems.
The evolution of the company has resulted in the integration of several women in senior partner positions. This has enabled the firm to achieve WBE certification in this highly competitive arena.
The foundation of the firm’s success lies in the continued attention to detail,
specializing in an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to solving environmental issues. AquaTek specializes in the investigation and remediation of sites
impacted by soil and groundwater contamination and has been retained by leading
law firms to provide expert testimony and technical support on a variety of
environmental litigation cases. AquaTek accomplishes this by utilizing a
systematic planning and scheduling process that is effectively integrated with
subcontractors and regulatory agencies.
